Digimon Tamers: Battle Spirit is the fighting game Dimps Corporation developed for Bandai and released on WonderSwan Color in October 2001, starring the cast of the Digimon Tamers anime. Its combat system revolves around D-Spirits: orbs that Digimon drop when hit, which the opponent must collect to tip the fight in their favor, an unusual strategic layer for the genre.
A year later came Battle Spirit Ver. 1.5, an expanded version with more characters and content, a sign that the game had found a loyal audience within the WonderSwan ecosystem. It's a key piece for understanding how Bandai used its own handheld to sustain the Digimon franchise alongside Nintendo's consoles.
